How's this...



Edit: dammit sparky

Is anybody else annoyed at the lack of being able to find a retail price for today's woot? I find it hard to accept them just saying "this is a good deal...buy three!"

I would not bother. Find somewhere local with something similar for the same price. You live in the trendiest city on earth and local food is trendy. your'e good to go.

Edit: Although faked, this was my favorite tantrum. Turn the volume down, but it should be safe for work otherwise.

Office Computer

That's more like it!

Boy, since you've gotten a better boyfiend, you've really gotten slow (I assume it's because 6 of your 8 arms are wrapped around him) on the internetwebz.

Set up skype between your offices I'm sure it'd help with work too, sometimes.

Ok, sunshine, how awesome is Dee Snider? He's a genius! and by all accounts a super nice guy.

Two notes:

1) I was not aware Andy Samberg's Dad was in Twisted Sister
2) lots and lots and lots of drugs went into this video

Dee was pretty good on Celebrity Apprentice

Ah from trendy to morally bankrupt. Still, I bet there are very good local choices

Nothing earth-shattering, just a few too many stressors at one time. Sometimes a tantrum is just what you need. You know you did it right when you burst out laughing at the end of it.

Looking forward to snuggling up in bed with my new Gunslinger book. Roland forever!

Rant.......

ok what is the world coming to? I just watched the commercial that Pop Chips had to pull because it is "racist". The commercial has Ashton Kusher in many different characters. From hippy, to redneck, Indian (from India), an over the top flamboyant,a yoga dude... It was quite funny. Anyhow, people are all in an uproar because the of the Indian portrayal. Nothing bad was said during the commercial...... but apparently, people are threatening Ashton and the company..... Seriously people, we have taken "political correctness" WAY to far!!

We were just telling the kids how funny shows like In Living Color and Mad tv, and even Saturday Night Live used to be, before it became the "thing" to be offended at everything!! Those shows made fun of EVERYBODY!! We have lost our ability to laugh and have fun, for fear of the political correctness police coming to get us!

Trendy but out of touch with just about anyone to the right of Lenin.

Wow, think how twisted I must be, growing up with Honeymooners, Amos & Andy, Lone Ranger.
[edit] however did I forget "all in the family"?

I should just go commit myself straight-away and be done with it!

we all should.... I mean, what was I thinking? having fun? I am soo over the everyone gets a trophy, because they "tried" ,,,,that is sunshine!! you are not always going to win, you will fall flat on your face, ;many times, pick yourself up, learn from your mistakes and move on!!!! (keep in mind, I am a mother of 2, and I do tell my kids this)

great, now my big wine fridge is making beeping noises... like an alarm is going off....I thought it was because the sponges in the back had overflowed... now it is still doing that, maybe it is overheating.....agggghhh it is the 100 bottle fridge...and it is full!!!

So I have to venture down to SoCal for a couple days next week. Anyone need help with their cellar? In Simi Valley of all places. Might need to escape in the evenings. Suggestions?

He doesn't want to move it. He better be buying double.

[rant]$120+/sqft for decks!?[/rant]

Naturally that was from the contractor I really liked. If he wants to throw in a nice gunnite pool it might be reasonable...

does the deck have a stripper pole and are the strippers included for that price? That's outrageous. Is he coating the planks in gold?

Are you using sequoia planks and nails forged with the steam from Condor tears?

You're welcome to venture down to the Culver City area and join me one evening. Maybe we could even get Richard to come too!

Does anyone here use internet based bookmarks? I used to use Yahoo's but it became unreliable and has now disappeared altogether. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

No kidding.

You could get a roof deck, built by union labor, in Manhattan for $120/sqft...

Seriously though, what kind of material? And is it a ground level deck or upper story?

bhodilee wrote:Seriously though, what kind of material? And is it a ground level deck or upper story?

Ipe decking, vinyl railings, elevated, and all stainless hardware because of the marine environment...

So it's never going to be inexpensive, but FU that's WAY too much. You really don't want $10/hr day labor building this stuff, but I don't single-handedly need to buy the guy a new truck!

I've got a quote from another contractor for $60/sqft. As obscene as that seems, it's what I expected and budgeted. Unfortunately this guy argued with me about basic no-brainer stuff like using stainless screws in the Ipe (not to mention in a marine environment), and only wanted to work up a quote from drawings. It would be a huge mistake to hire a contractor you already don't trust...

I've called moar contractors to get moar quotes, hopefully one won't set off my BS meter but will come in only overcharging me by an amount that I can stomach.

Nice, contractors can be stupid. My mom hired a company and the rebel scum quoted them a sunroom at way under everyone else. they took the bid, then he was like, um, we forgot to build HEIGHT into the contract so we have to redo it. I told they guy, no, you sent a quote, they accepted it, you signed the contract, now build the Nooooooooer. Then he Nooooooooed the subs, stole 300k from the company and split for Seattle. Happily the owners settled with the subs and it wasn't my Mom's problem.
